How can I hide the scrollbar line that appears on my Webflow site when I have a horizontal scroll with Auto on mobile?

TL;DR
  • Use the overflow hidden property for specific sections and custom code without raw HTML to prevent scrollbars.
  • Implement inline custom CSS references like ::-webkit-scrollbar for specific browsers and optimize layouts with mobile-friendly units.
  • Utilize Webflow's Inspector to adjust elements causing overflow.

Hiding the scrollbar line on a Webflow site to improve user experience when using horizontal scroll can be addressed through styling adjustments. Here's how you can achieve this:

​

1. Use Overflow Hidden Property

  • Adjust Sections: Set specific sections with horizontal scroll to have an overflow setting of hidden to prevent unwanted scrollbars.
  • Custom Code: Consider using custom code in Project Settings under Custom Code tab, ensuring you don't include any raw HTML/code blocks but rather, express it verbally such as applying overflow-y: hidden;.

​

2. Implement Custom CSS

  • No Raw HTML: Inline references like ::-webkit-scrollbar can be used to style or remove scrollbars specifically for webkit browsers.

​

3. Optimize Layouts for Mobile

  • Check Mobile Breakpoints: Ensure you're optimizing Layouts for Mobile in Designer to reduce or eliminate unnecessary horizontal scrolling.
  • Use Units Wisely: Use percentage, vw, or flex-based units to ensure content fits within the viewport.

​

4. Utilize Webflow's Built-in Tools

  • Inspect Elements: Use Webflow's Designer Inspector to identify any elements causing overflow and properly adjust sizes or paddings.

​

Summary

To hide the scrollbar on your Webflow site when using horizontal scroll on mobile, strategically use the overflow hidden property, implement custom inline references for specific browsers, and optimize your layouts for mobile devices.
